LiveWell Collagen Peptides Unflavored is a protein supplement primarily featuring 11 grams of Hydrolyzed Bovine Collagen Types I and III per serving. While collagen is commonly used to support skin, hair, and joint health, this product also includes trace amounts of Calcium (4mg), Iron (0.22mg), and Potassium (1mg), which are significantly underdosed compared to typical daily requirements. The product has an N+ Score of 48, earning an 'F' grade, indicating a below-average quality assessment, largely due to the underdosed mineral content and a relatively low formula completeness score of 33%. With 7 total ingredients and 100% label transparency, the primary strength is the clear disclosure of its collagen content. This supplement may appeal to individuals seeking a basic collagen source, though it does not provide meaningful amounts of the included minerals.
